The split screen Volkswagen camper van or the ‘Type 2‘ is a design legend, what other van conjures up the same feelings and universal love and respect that a ‘hippy van’ does?
Named the type 2 because it was the second car that VW made after the Type 1, otherwise known as the Beetle. It came in loads of different variations including pick-up, van, minibus, 2 door, 4 door, the list went on and then as it got older and more popular more and more versions were available.
Modified highly from the early days when hippies used to replace the VW badge on the front with peace signs, until now when it is one of the most famous and coveted vans modifiers want to get their hands on.
So lets all appreciate the Volkswagen Type 2 in all its glorious and individual beauty!
My personal favourite, the pick-up! The colours are gorgeous as well.
Of course some people like to add accessories to their vehicles, I’ll leave it up to you on whether that is a good thing or not.
They even look good when they are rusty!
Of course you can never go wrong with a few nice simple mods.
So here is to one of the greatest vehicles of all time and one of the best design icons in the last 100 years!

I love just the classic bus with no accessories. Just a clean look. Those rusted ones are also cool.

My teacher would love this site, he seems to have a thing about these vehicles. I actually think they look pretty cool. They have a very iconic look to them, especially the older looking ones.

Never again will there be a vehicle with such a hippy status. I love the VW campervan; there is no way you can look at them without feeling warm, fuzzy and happy inside!
